Outside linebacker Shane Ray (wrist/ankle) is listed as doubtful. Fellow edge defender Von Miller (ankle) is listed as questionable but coach Vance Joseph said after practice Friday that Miller will play this week. Backup center/guard Nico Falah is also listed as questionable.

With Freeman sidelined this week, fellow rookie Phillip Lindsay will handle the bulk of the Broncos’ backfield carries. Devontae Booker will also see an increase in touches, but he likely won’t be on the field as often as Lindsay.

Denver will likely promote Jeremy McNichols from the 10-man practice squad to the active roster to serve as the team’s No. 3 running back this week. McNichols wears jersey No. 33.
